“Rachel did a great job housesitting our 14 year old beagle! Belle was relaxed and happy when we returned home, and the house was clean. I would definitely recommend Rachel to friends/family :-)”
“We had our first two bookings with Leah over the past two weeks--one drop-in visit, and one 2-day stay. She was courteous and always on time and at our home when she said she'd be here. Our dogs were really skittish around her at first, but by the time she left they seemed to be completely comfortable around her. She sent plenty of pictures and let us know how the stay was going. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing. I have four dogs who require a lot of attention—three American Bullies and one 17-year-old Staffy who needs around-the-clock care—so leaving them with someone new was a big deal for me. From the start, Michelle had excellent communication, kept me updated regularly, and made me feel completely at ease during her first time dog sitting for us. Because of her, I was able to focus on where I was instead of worrying about my pups back home. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive.”
“Rachel was amazing with my little ones. Rachel stepped right in loving on my toy poodle and American shorthair cat. She cared for them as if they were her own. This was evident in the frequent updates with pictures. I highly recommend Rachel to care for your pets and home.”
“Miko was well taken care of with Dominique! Initially Miko was nervous but by the end of the stay, he got the hang of it. Dominique was great, keeping us posted regularly on how things were going. Highly recommend.”
“Brandon was a great choice to take care of our boys Del & Rio while we were away. He was very communicative, providing updates and photos each day. It's clear that he has a lot of love & compassion for animals and really makes a personal connection with them. It was nice to know he understood Del & Rio so well and they were in good hands. Thank you Brandon!”
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”
“Annette did a good job looking after Skylar and Roxie. She was flexible as we came back earlier than expected. My dogs were well cared for and would definitely book again.”
“Timothy responded so quickly and really helped us when our other booking had to unexpectedly be cut short! He was very professional and was very communicative through the entire booking and sent so many pictures and updates, which we loved! He really was able to help us enjoy the rest of our trip by giving us a peace of mind with how well our pets were taken care of!”
“Chantal is incredible! She is so nice, professional, and goes above and beyond what is required. She works around your schedule, sends pictures and videos, and caters to any needs you or your pet has. I cannot recommend Chantal enough. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.”
“Hannah is simply amazing she is sweet, loving caring and has allt od patience. My fur babies loves her Thank you for coming into our lives. Will definitely rebook Hannah again. 5 Stars.”
“Jen took great care of our pets! She has a super friendly and charismatic persona and overall is a lovely person. She sent updates and pictures and also helped us out by looking out for packages as we received them while we were away. We will use her again!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with our 2 pups! She kept us updated the entire time and sent lots of pictures so we knew they were doing well. We will definitely use her again and have already rebooked for another trip.”
“Dianahy was great! I needed a sitter on short notice, and she was quick to respond and even made time for a meet and greet beforehand. We had no issues with her during her stay, and our dog Luna seemed to do well with her! She is communicative and caring. Would book again.”

Big Country pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marisa house sat taking care of my crazy pack of dogs. I have four and they all have varying needs as well as energy levels. My 16.5 year old pomeranian is considered "hospice" and requires a lot of extra care, medications and diapers. My other three include two "teenage" age chocolate labs! Marisa was WONDERFUL with all of them. With my pom its so stressful to travel not knowing if he will get all his medications, will he eat, Marisa took so much of that stress off of me. She knew how to deal with his medications as well as how important it was that he get them. I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Maris she was amazing and we plan to book her again!
Juliana took great care of our dogs while we were away on vacation! It was our first time booking through Rover and we felt at ease from day 1. She was attentive and kept us updated with pictures which made us comfortable. We hope to use her again in the future.
Chantel was amazing. She kept all the dogs happy and showed them lots of love. She stuck to the schedule we laid out for all three dogs and gave us plenty of updates and pictures on how they were all doing. The dogs seemed to like her a lot as well. Definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a great Rover sitter and will definitely use her next time my husband and I go on vacation.
This is the second time we’ve had Virginia come stay at our house with our two pups. Again, she was wonderful with our dogs and a great house sitter! We love our dogs like they are our babies and can trust her to take great care of them . We’re so happy we’ve found someone we can trust and rely on. I don’t think I’d be comfortable with anyone one else since she has built such a great rapport with Lola and River and ourselves. We definitely recommend her housesitting in your home.
Stephanie did an outstanding job house-sitting for me and caring for my two dogs, Leo and Pancho. From the moment I left, I felt confident they were in great hands. She followed all care instructions perfectly, kept their feeding schedule consistent, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and attention. When I returned, the house was exactly as I left it—clean, organized, and comfortable. The dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved during my time away. It was obvious Stephanie treated them as if they were her own, which means the world to me. Her reliability, attention to detail, and genuine affection for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my home and pets again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring house sitter. — John P.
